Topic : Defining Your Authentic Self

I was watching a show that is about cultures but did not focus on the usual proverty-stricken or the diverse.  It was about a city in Texas.   

And the focus was on the individuality of the community and compared with the fundamentalism of Texas, overall.   

Also the weather is continuously being broadcast and changes frequently.  This is kind of like Australia.  The weather is frequently an issue.  Also, there are pockets of communities of those that do not share the mainstream ideas.  These are more livable areas and often have a diverse culture, like fruit-farming.  (I think there is a social revolution, where non-extremists are against the ideas of cattle and wheat and wool (used to be) as the main produce), because it is inefficient and doesn't rejuvinate the environment. 

I think it changes ones perspective greatly, and that to make this 'culture' and 'lifestyle' change in America, must bring one down to earth, in a fairly major way. 

Is that what a family is?  A place where health and finance can flow? 

I have come to the idea that what one grows up to be (and I have wasted time, I know, not knowing) is what one does when very young.  Because it is important to do the same things many times.  I realise that those good at science, were those with the freedom and independence to explore and so learned ie. the effects of gravity early, a lesson never forgotten.  And this is the same for all areas, as one builds on this continously.  That is something that is very misleading, when people tell one they must do this or that before that dream-job, but one has been doing the dream-job all their life, and that never stops. 

How it is expressed: be talked about (when not doing the dream-job) or actually doing it professionally, is what changes.   

I heard a funny thing said, that people who ride cars, are losing their ability to walk, of course they are not, but certainly how we walk changes.  Maybe the ability to walk uphill for example, as an overall species, is being lost. 

interested in the a tree (which has lots of water).   Maybe this had to do with learning about culture in a symbolic way, rather than having been to Australia or Africa, herself.

selfish, pretentious etc.  

(rather that how to be, which seems to be what the television teaches) 

one can do.  That is to write a piece about what one imagines is in the glove-box of someone elses car.  This to me does get to the crunch of how we think about others, on a different level, we may not realise.
